The Verizon Wireless 4G LTE network rollout continued today, with the carrier activating its super-fast network in 28 new markets and expanding coverage in 11 existing markets.

With Thursday's expansion, Verizon's network will cover 258 markets across the country, or more than two-thirds of the U.S. population, the carrier said. For more details about Verizon's LTE expansion this Thursday, see below.

In the next seven months, Verizon plans to bring its 4G LTE network to more than 140 new markets. And, by the end of the year, Verizon aims to ramp up its total number of LTE markets to more than 400, reaching more than 260 million people in 49 states.
